Sticky Fa Icon

[Wolf]

Right I've trying to figure this out for a while and did search for hours around the internet can't find anything! So since my forum display icons are all fa icons, I was wondering how can I make important threads which is forumdisplay sticky to a different icon without showing normal icons?

I've tried doing this..

Code:

<if $thread['sticky'] then> <i class="thread_status fa fa-thumb-tack sticky-icon" aria-hidden="true"></i> </if> <span class="thread_status {$folder}" title="{$folder_label}">&nbsp;</span>

---

It does work but then it shows my {$folder} icons next to sticky fa icon.

If your confused as to what I'm trying to do.. is this..

Any help I'd really appreciate it.
